Best Idea Ever

This was a life-saver for keeping the interior of my SUV clear for passengers. We also purchased the cargo bag and the carrier lid. We were able to easily fit 4 suitcases (regulation carry on size) and, if we didn't have the lid, could have fit 4 more on top of that first layer of suitcases. Even with lid, had room for a 5th suitcase (plus extra unused room) & the lid closed easily. Put a wheelchair bungee-corded to the top of the carrier. Heavy rain; cargo bag is resistant; not waterproof.

Good carrier

I got this with the top and the bag. I figure out of sight out of mind and with a couple of locks for the lid keeps honest folks honest. Box holds a lot if you pack it smart. Not sure about 450lbs but enough for my needs.
Seems to be well built but will probably rust if you leave it out.
Overall 5 star rating.

Extra Space when you really need it.

Our family of five went on a wind surfing and camping trip for four days. We had a tent, sleeping bags, air mattresses, cooking gear, food, an ice chest, two sailboards, three sails, masts and booms, luggage and an inflatable raft. There is no possible way we could've got it all to the campsite in our Honda Odyssey without the car pod. Thank you very much!

worked great - manufacturing could have better tolerances

I hauled 3 large suitcases and a wheelchair on a back and forth 375 mile trip (about 250LBs). We hit a lot of rough road and the C-Pod held up nicely. My complaint is the Pod was partially assembled wrong by the factory. One side panel was installed backwards. While fixable, it was a hassle and I didnt get one other side panel pins in right, so I had to do it twice. (PLEASE ADD this to your regression testing/QA process).I'd still recommend THe CarPod to others.

Excellent product

I'm surprised at how easy it was to put the carrier together. I will be using it this summer on our long road trips and to the beach. It is very roomy and feels secure when top is locked. My only complaint is fed ex delivered it 930pm with the box wide open

Great cargo carrier

I purchased the cargo carrier, lockable lid and cargo Cover/bag. I just used the carrier on a 30 hr long round trip. Very easy to assemble and use. The cargo cover worked very well as we drove through several rainstorms and everything stayed perfectly dry. The cargo carrier easily held 3 - 4 large duffle bags and two carry on sized bags with no problem at all. This freed up a considerable amount of space inside our Chevy Tahoe and made for a more comfortable trip for all of our passengers.
